|content=@DavidDeutschOxf @rickygervais And your point about evolutionary time vs time scales of human civilization is spot on. But I am suggesting that if we tried to accelerate natural selection with chimps as we did canines, we might find the potential term terrifying to our sense of ourselves.

|content=@DavidDeutschOxf @rickygervais Fascinating point. Just to riff... if you add a potential term I’m not sure Ricky is wrong. In essence, we aren’t taking into account the potential for a sudden gain of ability in chimps. If our minds are distant while our brains are proximate, a potential term solves this, no?

|content=@DavidDeutschOxf @rickygervais Exactly. But even small changes in primary sequences can have *enormous* changes in realized physiology, morphology and behavior (e.g. homeotic mutations, telomeres, rhodopsin) so we don’t know how such a term would impact the meaningful inter-species distance.

|content=@DavidDeutschOxf @rickygervais Further, while our cell counts may be in the 10s of trillions, our number of distinct adult cell types is on the same order of magnitude as [[C. elegans|C Elegans]]. Suggesting scale and layout as the main issues within the “Lego” of our cellular building blocks. I think @rickygervais is right.
